Summary
Andro's Square is a town built on top of a large lake. The buildings mostly stand on stilts and are built out of almost exclusively out of oak, cobblestone and their derivatives. The paths also stand on stilts. Despite being a town built on water, it does not have any dedicated docks or boats lining the edges of it. It is illuminated mostly by jack o' lanterns that can be found hanging above the paths or inside certain buildings. Found in this town are many farms that provide passersby with an abundance of starter resources.
Andro himself goes through brief weeks of hyper-activity on the server followed by many-month-long periods of inactivity, the most recent being the one in July of 2024, after inactivity since February of 2024.
Most Notable Structure
The most "unique" structure in the entire town would be the dedicated Music Disk/ Music Disc farm, being among the first that have been documented. It is built out of stone brick, cobblestone and oak logs, with a large pyramid-like roof. It has two openings at the front on the left and right side that can be opened and closed at will with the wooden trapdoors. These are used to control and direct the aggression of the creepers and skeletons that come out of mob spawners inside the structure. Creepers spawn in an upper compartment and are carried by water to land on the cobblestone walls, behind which skeletons spawn that will cause collateral damage to the creepers when a player is present.
When operating the farm, it is recommended to carry a shield to protect oneself from arrows and explosions. The items from the farm are collected through a chest-collector system and transported to the front of the farm where they can be easily accessed by the operator. Damaging the creepers with your sword in advance for the arrows from the skeletons to kill the creepers will accelerate this process, minimizing the risk of the creepers turning their attention to the skeletons.
Other Useful Structures
This town harbors many farms that produce resources like wheat, carrots, potatoes, sugar cane, nether wart, pumpkins, leather, steak, oak wood and cobblestone. All of the farms either have the replenishing process, collection process or both automated using Craftbook.
- Wheat, carrots, nether wart and potatoes are all found within close proximity to each other, all four bearing the same flat design. These farms are all automatically replanted.
- Pumpkins are found on a nearby lowered pathway and reside in a much more crudely built environment. There is no automated collection system.
- Sugarcane is found in a 3-story building with a stone brick roof and an automated collection system.
- Cobblestone is on the second floor of a building adjacent to the sugarcane farm. It is harvested automatically and stored in a double-chest, only requiring that a player be near it and empty the chests to produce more.
- Stone is found on the first floor of the same building where cobblestone is found. The harvesting mechanism is not automated however and it requires a silk-touch pickaxe to operate. This farm has a collection system.
- Oak trees are found on a smooth stone and stone brick platform. On the top of the farm is a large glass panel that stops the birth of large trees.. They are harvested automatically on a timer and replanted instantly. The collection system resides beneath the trees and separates the apples from the wood.
- Steak & Leather are found inside the slaughterhouse, a building with a gabled roof shape and fire inside. Cows are spawned on top of pressure plates and pushed by pistons into a fire, where they are cooked alive dropping leather and steak. That's Rough. The slaughterhouse itself features two separate afk chambers that are locked when a player enters and walks onto a pressure plate. This theoretically protects the player from outside threats, as long as no blocks are broken. If one desires to exit, they simply need to step off of the pressure plate and the door will open.
